This was the problem.  I didn't realize at first that db2html is a script, 
looking into it for the jade command line it doesn't do this.

The first thing I did was make copies of my XML files as SGML files and put in 
the SGML docbook DTD instead of the XML one.  Very happily, this worked.

Then I made a copy of db2html and edited the jade command lines to include the 
xml.dcl file, according to the following patch.  Keeping the original will allow 
processing of docbook sgml, using this will do xml:
